Wayne, I’m a 56 year old retired teacher, living with MS. Just wanted to say hello, and thank you! I love your TH-cam tutorials, I love your ability to critique products, I love your down to earth and humorous approach to what is (as I’ve heard you say) only makeup. Don’t ever change; you are wonderful! Lots of love and I wish you every success going forward 💐🌈🥂❣️😘😘 xxxxxx
I rarely comment on youtube videos, but I have to say this. In this day and age, when beauty youtubers aren't making much of an effort, I am just amazed with your video. The content is great, the review is objective and the editing is just beyond... PLUS it's not sponsored. Amazing video. I imagine it was very hard to film and edit, especially the stop-motion parts. While beautiful, feel free to skip them next time, just turn this into a series, please!
Karima always goes above and beyond with her videos...they are all amazing! This one in particular was SO extra though! I love how articulate and knowledgeable she is about everything she presents...it's so nice compared to a lot of the other hyperactive buzzed up beauty vloggers that are going around. I wish you had more time to make more videos Karima - bring on the end of your studies! Hahaha ;)
I'm new to your channel and BLOWN AWAY by your amazing editing and stop motion shots! Great to see a fellow Aussie/Charlotte Tilbury addict killing it on TH-cam x
Ps. I bought about 15 of her lipsticks on a recent trip to London, but my favourites are definitely the Matte Revolution shades Very Victoria, Bond Girl and Walk of Shame, plus Pillow Talk Lip Cheat! Curious to hear a few of your favourites?
Karima, this was incredible. This is what I expect when I come to TH-cam, and you (and the other Aussies) are the only ones delivering comprehensive, intelligent, and grounded reviews. I would *love* to see more videos like this brand smackdown. I know I'm not alone when I say that I appreciate this video for its quality in both content and style. Beautiful work. Thank you.
This is the best brand review I have ever seen on TH-cam and you explained things very well. My favorite from the brand is the eye palette. Best formulation in my opinion as it does not look like color just sitting on the skin...
Karima, the time and effort you put into this video is beyond words! It's honestly one of my favourite brand reviews I've ever watched, scratch that - my all time favourite. It was comprehensive yet still detailed, most of all it was very honest. I know you wanted to keep the video short & comprehensive but I do wish you had incl quick arm swatches of all the products (eyeshadows, lipsticks etc). That being said, still loved every minute of it. You go girl! ❤️
Karima! You never cease to amaze me with the WORK that goes into making your videos look and flow so well. The cut-aways and editing alone must take you hours on hours and I think that the general viewer (non-content-creator) has NO IDEA what goes into all of that! Your videos inspire me to make my channel better. Production value aside, your content itself is amazing as well. Your reviews are thorough, yet concise, your artistry is a breathe of fresh air in an industry that is suffocating under three layers of full-coverage foundation set with full-coverage powder foundation. Basically I love you, thank you for doing you!
Also I've just got to mention that it drives me bananas that you aren't more popular! I wish the TH-cam Success came to women like you (and Sharon!) who are well-spoken, funny, and don't put on a cakey mask in every video. You use real adjectives to describe products instead of just saying you're LITERALLY obsessed. I appreciate that. Reddit appreciates that. We love you
It's all relative, y'know? I have almost 200,000 people following me here and I cannot even fathom that number. I just can't believe it and I'm very grateful ❤️
I tired the Legendary Lashes and found that it also smudged throughout the day which never happens to me. I also found that if you cry your eyes will be on fire and you will look like a soap star with black running down your face in full dramatic mode all while your eyes are about to fall out!!!! Love this review very well done and super informative!!! 🙌🏻💋
Gurrl! You are reading my mind!! A few days ago I was thinking why isn't anybody doing a brand oriented video?! And here it is! Amazing as per usual! I want more!
Nipple blush lol. Also, I love the idea of you doing single brand tutorials you are very aware of what you want in a product and not afraid to get critical so I trust you a lot more than most makeup bloggers/vloggers. I'd love to see more, even from drugstore brands. Great video Karima.
Incredible video! The editing involved, the way you describe products simply and to the point, without 'wasting' words, the artistry in which you apply the makeup enhancing your own features, it is all so admirable! Congratulations and keep up the great work!
Can never get enough of Karima, love me a bit of Karima videos with my morning cuppa. This girl is defo one of the most eloquent beauty TH-camrs ever, can always learn something new!
Karima, this video is one of the best "brand review" videos i have ever watched on TH-cam. Just wanted to say thank you because its giving me a great insight into the brand, and what i'd get for me in the future. Also, may i mention how articulate you were in describing each and every product!! A breath of fresh air in a community full of "likes", "goals" and "obsessed" narration. I will be following you and your work, great job! x
I can seriously tell you stepped up your game for this video! Well worth it. Editing is so well done! I also love the comprehensive review on the brand , as always I appreciate it!
I love your videos, but this time I gotta focus on one thing and say that the editing was just BEYOND. It deserves a million thumbs up! Thank you for all the effort!
I never comment, but I felt the need to this time. GREAT JOB KARIMA! It wasn't easy to review this line in 12 minutes and you nailed it! I love the edit, I love that you kept it short and sweet for every product. Just a great job!
Love this. For me the powder is so fine that I'd used up the whole thing in like 6 weeks and too costly to keep buying with all that waste. I also find those shadow sticks to be a let down.. they are one of the first thing she launched so presume they need reformulating. Also agree that the eyes to mesmerise are a let down.. they are not super pigmented so hardly show up and really just act as like a sheer wash of colour... without the added bonus of being long lasting! My favourites are blusher, the highlighter from the bronze and glow palette (which she should defo sell separately) and the Hot lips lipstick in Carinas Love.
Omg, I thought I was seeing things when I saw that you had three hands in frame. Hahaha! If only that were true in real life, makeup application would be a breeze.
So glad you've done a run down of this whole brand. I bought the Legendary Lashes and it was beyond awful. The single worst mascara I've ever tried in my life. Honestly I thought I would never buy anything else from CT, but seeing a few of these products perform well here makes me want to try it a bit more ☺️
This was a very honest overview of this luxury brand and seriously appreciate that. I've seen some very popular people here not finding one fault on this brand, everything is flawless about it and you can just tell they don't want to damage their connections with this and other luxury brands...
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video! I'm going to London next month and I wanted to buy sth to try out the brand, but I felt totally overwhelmed with the variety of products. THANK YOU! While watching the video I couldn't stop thinking about the HUGE amount of work that you've put on this video. Bravo!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It is so apparent that you put an incredible amount of work into creating this video! The editing, the product setups and little animations, bravo Karima. Seriously.
This is the first video I've seen from you and it is a total game changer among beauty reviews! Your reviews were thorough and concise but what really stood out to me were your animations! Amazing!
OMG this is what we need a full review of each product! Brilliantly done! I hope you have a video if every favorite thing you use. Favorite moisturizer, eye cream, sunscreen, foundation, higliter, concealer, best formula eye shadows, best eyebrow and mascara product, best rouge, best everything! Thank you! Kathy
Oh Karima, this video is magical!! It's really interesting to see all those products in action and I loved hearing your thoughts about them. The editing is amazing, those stop motion clips are perfect 😍😍😍 Thank you for putting that much effort in producing a video, you worked hard and it really shows. Soooo, what brand will be next?
Sidenote: "Mona Lisa" is the most perfect color of aaaaall the colors, it's such a shame it creases on you! My eyelids are very oily so I'm sure they are absolutely unwearable for me 😭😭😭
Love this comprehensive look at this brand. I'm dying for someone to do a Charlotte Tilbury dupes video--doesn't necessarily have to be drugstore--I would love midpoint price dupes like Make-Uo Geek, etc.
So so glad someone did this. I feel like many of her products are overrated but for some reason people remain so far up the arse of her and her brand that they say the products are life-changing. Ffs! Like, I love the Dolce Vita and the rest of her quads seem beautiful but no one needs that glitter. Switch it out for a matte, which people actually need. (Sorry, just a whopper of a rant)
And since you didn't mention it, the Champagne Diamonds shade of the colour sticks is probably the worst. It's entirely sheer, like no colour pay-off whatsoever and it has such chunky glitter you look like you got stuck in a kids makeup set. And as for the cream shadows, they enrage me! They're so beautiful, creamy and just perfect in appearance but for about 10 minutes 😭😭
Yes, I agree; the cream eyeshadows have little staying power. Have you tried using them with a primer? Maybe I'll try a primer. TBH, I use concealer to prime but maybe a primer would make a difference ? I love the Vintage Vamp eyeshadow palette, however I find that's it's so blendable that it blends out completely at times! Then when you try and get a gradient effect the colours sort of morph into one colour. 'Maybe it's my technique?
Your editing in this video is awesome. At one point I thought there was an additional person in the video. Love the lip cheats. Love full fat mascara. Legendary never dried down and I was a raccoon within an hour.
This was highly informative and so appreciated! This was the most comprehensive brand overview video I have ever seen! Great job and I LOVED the editing!
Never have i seen such a complete review of CT's products, i'm in love with the look you came up with ! Also loved the dedication you put into the filming and the editing; amazing work !
Fab video, thank you! I adore CT and I've struggled to find someone on TH-cam that critiques it without being biased, compares each type PLUS is likeable and relatable. I now know what concealer and foundation to get.
Your editing on this video is AMAZING!!!! And I look forward to all your Total Brand Overviews - you're hands down one of my absolute favourite beauty vloggers next to Lisa Eldridge. Your taste in makeup mirrors my own and I love your objective opinions on products - you're a true beauty lover like myself and I have never been let down by your suggestions. Been a subscriber from early on and I'm so happy to see you grow in the Beauty TH-cam Stratosphere
Thanks Karima for the full review ! You can try to use a mascara base like the Urban Decay one, to prevent smudging ! It gives full volume & lengh , and your mascara lasts all day.
I'm only half way through the video but I love it! I always go onto the website and have no idea what's good and what's not. This helped so much, your skin looks incredible! I now have a list of products I want! Thank you x
Thank you for this review! I discovered Charlotte Tilbury about a year ago and finally bit the bullet and purchased a skin care travel kit to try the magic cream, goddess Mask and the wonder glow I love all of those even though I'm not sure if I would repurchase because of the price tag I just purchased the finishing powder and am planning on getting a few more items. I am new to your channel and LOVED this video
Wow 'brutally honest' is the description of this video. I love it! Please keep making these awesome honest videos which are filled with so much products!
Great job on this video Karima! Thank you so very much for actually listening and interacting with your viewers, and for also keeping your integrity and telling the truth about poor performing products.
Omg amazing editing! Makes for such an enjoyable viewing experience - although I always love watching your videos. I feel like I rarely have any remaining questions about a product once I've watched one of your reviews. Super thorough, as per usual :)
Holy smokes, girl! That must have been a tonne of work. Just look at all those stopmotions. Love it! You just set the bar for other youtubers, may they receive the strength to keep up.
Very comprehensive and informative. Thanks for posting this. I am new to Charlotte Tilbury and have only bought Filmstar Bronze & Glow so far - this will help with my next purchase.
Thank you so much for such an honest clear, well articulated review, I have been toying with Charlotte Tilbury for a while, and couldn't really believe all the hype about the products so this was really informative and helpful- plus the editing was just perfect I could watch it all day 😍 kisses from London
Incredible production, editing, and such sweet creative touches! Love the stop motion. Alas I do not own a single CT product they are just way beyond my budget but love this video regardless xx
I feels like its been too long, I've geniunely missed you. Your voice brings back so many fond memories of sitting by the computer binging on make up videos.
1:22 freaked me out... so many hands! Love this video, always lusted over Charlotte Tilbury but never knew what to buy! So helpful and stunning as always ☺️
You are my favorite beauty youtuber! Your editing on this videos was so creative! Fantastic job. Your lighting is the best I've seen on any beauty channel (it's bright and clear but I can still see your skin!). I love that you are reviewing CT. I would love it if you review the other colored blushes as I heard they were incredible! Overall, Thanks for the awesomeness!
Thank you for being honest, it means a lot, and you should do more of these. I respect your opinion on make up a lot. I have tried Charlotte's cream eye shadows, quads, blushes,and beach sticks and i did not like them. Lip products are amazing, just not the glosses i do not like them in general.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I want the film and glow (is that the name, I just blanked). School and surgeries (non elective) are eating all my money so there is no way I can afford that anytime in the next few years. So I am having some SERIOUS makeup envy right now!! The look is amazing
i have only been subscribed to you for over a week but you've easily become one of my top 5 favourite youtubers. i adore the amount of effort you put into your videos. :) x
I recently subscribed to your channel and I have to say you have become my favorite beauty TH-camr, you seem so down to earth and kind, you are so naturally beautiful AND you're honest, in a world where all looks so scripted and fake and you practically can't find real looking skin anymore it is so refreshing to find someone like you! Keep up the good work, it is beyond appreciated, big hugs from Chile 🇨🇱 ❤️
I would have loved to see some swatches of the other lipsticks to see how they look on you (since we have the same skin tone), but overall I really really liked this video. Supercomprehensive and top-notch editing. I was thinking about splurging on some CT this Christmas and this has been very helpful :)
What a fantastic video. The effort that went into this was really apparent. Thank you!! I love my CT eyeshadows, and use the eyeshadow sticks as liners under the eyes as I love the shades.. I really appreciate all your videos, you are funny, informative, well spoken, share my attitute towards makeup (enhancing, not masking your features).... Keep it up!! xxx
You are one of my favorite TH-camrs!!! Thank you for making this video! It was very informative and I've been interested in this brand but didn't really know where to start. I love how to the point you are and I feel you're not extraneous where most people would be. You are so down to earth, funny and Beautiful. I love the way you apply makeup...never overdone and always with such a sense of refinement to it..even with the darker looks. It's very refreshing amoungst the sea of overly contoured overly highlighted makeup looks I feel have been popular lately.
Hey, love the video! I used to work for CT in the Covent Garden boutique and agree with most of this! One thing I would say is blend the colour chameleons with your finger not a brush (as you found out they dry very quickly!) and they work best as a base for more intense shadow to sit on top of (you'll find most of the chameleons are designed to fit with a palette also) or a smokey liner. I also love the blushes although they do all tend to have more of a glow to them so I totally get that's not for everyone. But great reviews and a lovely makeup! Subbed! xx
You put so much effort into this video! Like a crazy amount! It was absolutely gorgeous! I love this idea of reviewing a brand! It's helpful to know what products are worth the money in such large brand. It can be kind of overwhelming and this was VERY HELPFUL!! Thanks Karima xx
It was so nice to hear you say the mascara smudged on you (sorry) I felt like I was the one weirdo that mascara didn't work on but ugh such a good look and then smudge city
As someone who has just discovered this line, this was SO helpful! Thank you!!! Not carried in many stores in the U.S. so super helpful to get a visual and comparison! Seriously, thank you so much!
A lot of my friends hate the light wonder foundation but its one of my fav foundations!! I have "good" skin but it transform it to another level without looking like am wearing anything and it feels like air on my face!
A true joy to watch and even more so when i spotted my air-brush! Thank you xx
The Air Brush has just about replaced my SUQQU Cheek Brush, which is an incredible feat. Bravo! x
But is it coming back?! Inquiring minds want to know!
Wayne what a selfish comment. Don't take away from her wonderful video.
Just so you know Wayne, Karima's constant gushing over your brush made me buy it... and I'm loving it too! So thanks to both of you :)
Wayne, I’m a 56 year old retired teacher, living with MS. Just wanted to say hello, and thank you! I love your TH-cam tutorials, I love your ability to critique products, I love your down to earth and humorous approach to what is (as I’ve heard you say) only makeup.

Quick arm swatches of the entire colour range would have been not so quick to create 😉 Maybe next time! x
Totally worth all the work, this was AMAZING
Low key sick of FCPX, at this stage 😅 xx

Great concept & review of the line Karima! Keep up the good work & would be great to see this extended to other brands. Have a lovely day xx
Thanks for watching! x
Karima, this video is one of the best "brand review" videos i have ever watched on TH-cam. Just wanted to say thank you because its giving me a great insight into the brand, and what i'd get for me in the future. Also, may i mention how articulate you were in describing each and every product!! A breath of fresh air in a community full of "likes", "goals" and "obsessed" narration.

Your editing when you show the products is amazeballs. I never see anyone else do that and it makes your videos so professional!
Pleased you like it! 😊
Karima definitely deserves more subscribbers, love your review and the way you approached, love your edit and certain adore your talent.
I can seriously tell you stepped up your game for this video! Well worth it. Editing is so well done! I also love the comprehensive review on the brand , as always I appreciate it!
WHOA - you put so much effort into this! Absolutely incredible xxx
karima please do more of these one brand hits and misses videos! it's so helpful especially for luxury brands ❤
Love love love all the editing in this video, so quirky and watchable! Definitely lusting after so many products afterwatching this xxxxx
I love your videos, but this time I gotta focus on one thing and say that the editing was just BEYOND. It deserves a million thumbs up! Thank you for all the effort!
Aw thanks girlfriend! xx
I never comment, but I felt the need to this time. GREAT JOB KARIMA! It wasn't easy to review this line in 12 minutes and you nailed it! I love the edit, I love that you kept it short and sweet for every product. Just a great job!
I tried to keep it snappy! Glad you enjoyed xx
Love this. For me the powder is so fine that I'd used up the whole thing in like 6 weeks and too costly to keep buying with all that waste. I also find those shadow sticks to be a let down.. they are one of the first thing she launched so presume they need reformulating.

The Broadwalk me too!
The Broadwalk I couldn't figure out what was happening!! so confused haha
The Broadwalk 8.25
So glad you've done a run down of this whole brand. I bought the Legendary Lashes and it was beyond awful. The single worst mascara I've ever tried in my life. Honestly I thought I would never buy anything else from CT, but seeing a few of these products perform well here makes me want to try it a bit more ☺️
Super enjoyed this video! The way you applied the make up, the way you talk, the set up. Everything is perfection! ❤️
This must be one of the most helpful videos on CT products I have found on youtube! Thank you for being open & honest x
This was a very honest overview of this luxury brand and seriously appreciate that. I've seen some very popular people here not finding one fault on this brand, everything is flawless about it and you can just tell they don't want to damage their connections with this and other luxury brands...
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video! I'm going to London next month and I wanted to buy sth to try out the brand, but I felt totally overwhelmed with the variety of products. THANK YOU!

This is the first video I've seen from you and it is a total game changer among beauty reviews! Your reviews were thorough and concise but what really stood out to me were your animations! Amazing!
OMG this is what we need a full review of each product! Brilliantly done! I hope you have a video if every favorite thing you use. Favorite moisturizer, eye cream, sunscreen, foundation, higliter, concealer, best formula eye shadows, best eyebrow and mascara product, best rouge, best everything! Thank you! Kathy
Incredible video so useful so informative and the cut sways were so so professional - the best make up review I have seen !
Oh Karima, this video is magical!! It's really interesting to see all those products in action and I loved hearing your thoughts about them. The editing is amazing, those stop motion clips are perfect 😍😍😍 Thank you for putting that much effort in producing a video, you worked hard and it really shows. Soooo, what brand will be next?
Sidenote: "Mona Lisa" is the most perfect color of aaaaall the colors, it's such a shame it creases on you! My eyelids are very oily so I'm sure they are absolutely unwearable for me 😭😭😭
Can always count on you to post the most high quality comprehensive reviews! 🙌🏼
Very helpful and professionally done! I think you and Lisa Eldridge are the two most informative makeup artists on TH-cam. Thanks!
Love this comprehensive look at this brand. I'm dying for someone to do a Charlotte Tilbury dupes video--doesn't necessarily have to be drugstore--I would love midpoint price dupes like Make-Uo Geek, etc.
Props on the editing! Informative and cool looking, all I want in a youtube video :D!
Girl the quality of the editing is out of this world love it!
The visual effects are so pretty !! Love your commentary, as always
So so glad someone did this. I feel like many of her products are overrated but for some reason people remain so far up the arse of her and her brand that they say the products are life-changing. Ffs! Like, I love the Dolce Vita and the rest of her quads seem beautiful but no one needs that glitter. Switch it out for a matte, which people actually need. (Sorry, just a whopper of a rant)
And since you didn't mention it, the Champagne Diamonds shade of the colour sticks is probably the worst. It's entirely sheer, like no colour pay-off whatsoever and it has such chunky glitter you look like you got stuck in a kids makeup set.
And as for the cream shadows, they enrage me! They're so beautiful, creamy and just perfect in appearance but for about 10 minutes 😭😭
Yes, I agree; the cream eyeshadows have little staying power. Have you tried using them with a primer? Maybe I'll try a primer. TBH, I use concealer to prime but maybe a primer would make a difference ?
I love the Vintage Vamp eyeshadow palette, however I find that's it's so blendable that it blends out completely at times! Then when you try and get a gradient effect the colours sort of morph into one colour. 'Maybe it's my technique?
I like glitter... maybe we can get a glitter AND a matte? That would be nice :) x
Your editing in this video is awesome. At one point I thought there was an additional person in the video. Love the lip cheats. Love full fat mascara. Legendary never dried down and I was a raccoon within an hour.
11/10 for the editing 👏 the effort that went into this video totally shows in the finished product. Love it! ❤️
I'm glad you noticed! 😅 xx
This was highly informative and so appreciated! This was the most comprehensive brand overview video I have ever seen! Great job and I LOVED the editing!
So glad you liked it! x
Never have i seen such a complete review of CT's products, i'm in love with the look you came up with !
Also loved the dedication you put into the filming and the editing; amazing work !
Fab video, thank you! I adore CT and I've struggled to find someone on TH-cam that critiques it without being biased, compares each type PLUS is likeable and relatable. I now know what concealer and foundation to get.
This is the best review I've seen Karima!!! You can tell all the hard work you out in-paid off completely xxxx
Your editing on this video is AMAZING!!!! And I look forward to all your Total Brand Overviews - you're hands down one of my absolute favourite beauty vloggers next to Lisa Eldridge.

Hey Karima, love all of your videos, but this one takes the cake. Best brand review I've ever watched.
Thank you for this review! I discovered Charlotte Tilbury about a year ago and finally bit the bullet and purchased a skin care travel kit to try the magic cream, goddess Mask and the wonder glow
I love all of those even though I'm not sure if I would repurchase because of the price tag
I just purchased the finishing powder and am planning on getting a few more items.
I am new to your channel and LOVED this video
Welcome, Natalie! So happy you enjoyed the video :) x
Wow 'brutally honest' is the description of this video. I love it! Please keep making these awesome honest videos which are filled with so much products!
this was such a well made video. the editing is spot on and I love the stop motion.
Great job on this video Karima! Thank you so very much for actually listening and interacting with your viewers, and for also keeping your integrity and telling the truth about poor performing products.
Yay! Lovely video. I love CT products, especially her lip liners and lipsticks! Always happy to see a new video from you. Xoxo
Omg amazing editing! Makes for such an enjoyable viewing experience - although I always love watching your videos. I feel like I rarely have any remaining questions about a product once I've watched one of your reviews. Super thorough, as per usual :)
Such a well structured and edited vid, karima! ❤️
The editing in this video was superb! It's always wonderful to see your beautiful face :)
Holy smokes, girl! That must have been a tonne of work. Just look at all those stopmotions. Love it! You just set the bar for other youtubers, may they receive the strength to keep up.
Very comprehensive and informative. Thanks for posting this. I am new to Charlotte Tilbury and have only bought Filmstar Bronze & Glow so far - this will help with my next purchase.
Thank you so much for such an honest clear, well articulated review, I have been toying with Charlotte Tilbury for a while, and couldn't really believe all the hype about the products so this was really informative and helpful- plus the editing was just perfect I could watch it all day 😍 kisses from London
LOVE this type of video! So thorough and beautifully edited! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow you can so tell how much effort you put in to this video!! I love your videos, but this editing is a new level :)
Thanks Em :) x
Incredible production, editing, and such sweet creative touches! Love the stop motion. Alas I do not own a single CT product they are just way beyond my budget but love this video regardless xx
Thanks for watching :) x
Thank you for replying 😊
Really useful video. As someone else said, it gets you beyond the hype and gives you a genuine assessment. Thank you for that.
Amazing editing, reviews, and video!
Yay, thank you! x
I feels like its been too long, I've geniunely missed you. Your voice brings back so many fond memories of sitting by the computer binging on make up videos.
This almost felt like a documentary and it was so interesting and honest. I loved it
I love the way you describe products, just beautiful!! I also love the film star bronze and glow. Awesome product!!
1:22 freaked me out... so many hands! Love this video, always lusted over Charlotte Tilbury but never knew what to buy! So helpful and stunning as always ☺️
The editing on this video was awesome! Thank you so much for making it.
Thanks for watching 😊 x
You are my favorite beauty youtuber! Your editing on this videos was so creative! Fantastic job. Your lighting is the best I've seen on any beauty channel (it's bright and clear but I can still see your skin!). I love that you are reviewing CT. I would love it if you review the other colored blushes as I heard they were incredible! Overall, Thanks for the awesomeness!
Thank you for being honest, it means a lot, and you should do more of these. I respect your opinion on make up a lot. I have tried Charlotte's cream eye shadows, quads, blushes,and beach sticks and i did not like them. Lip products are amazing, just not the glosses i do not like them in general.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I want the film and glow (is that the name, I just blanked). School and surgeries (non elective) are eating all my money so there is no way I can afford that anytime in the next few years. So I am having some SERIOUS makeup envy right now!! The look is amazing
THIS EDITING WAS AMAZINGGGG!! I always look forward to your videos. I can really tell you put hella effort into this one and it is MUCH APPRECIATED
Woohoo! ❤️
i have only been subscribed to you for over a week but you've easily become one of my top 5 favourite youtubers. i adore the amount of effort you put into your videos. :) x
This is beautifully produced, Karima 😄 I love a comprehensive brand review!
I recently subscribed to your channel and I have to say you have become my favorite beauty TH-camr, you seem so down to earth and kind, you are so naturally beautiful AND you're honest, in a world where all looks so scripted and fake and you practically can't find real looking skin anymore it is so refreshing to find someone like you! Keep up the good work, it is beyond appreciated, big hugs from Chile 🇨🇱 ❤️
I would have loved to see some swatches of the other lipsticks to see how they look on you (since we have the same skin tone), but overall I really really liked this video. Supercomprehensive and top-notch editing. I was thinking about splurging on some CT this Christmas and this has been very helpful :)
The film start bronze & glow is so gorgeous. Probably going to buy it for myself for Christmas.
I bought it for my christmas gift to myself this year hahaha
What a fantastic video. The effort that went into this was really apparent. Thank you!! I love my CT eyeshadows, and use the eyeshadow sticks as liners under the eyes as I love the shades.. I really appreciate all your videos, you are funny, informative, well spoken, share my attitute towards makeup (enhancing, not masking your features).... Keep it up!! xxx
Great video! I would love to see you do a series like this!
You are one of my favorite TH-camrs!!! Thank you for making this video! It was very informative and I've been interested in this brand but didn't really know where to start. I love how to the point you are and I feel you're not extraneous where most people would be. You are so down to earth, funny and Beautiful. I love the way you apply makeup...never overdone and always with such a sense of refinement to it..even with the darker looks. It's very refreshing amoungst the sea of overly contoured overly highlighted makeup looks I feel have been popular lately.
So pleased you found it interesting :) x
This is to date one of my favorite videos of yours. Absolute perfection - the video quality, but mostly your expertise :) Love !!!
Hey, love the video! I used to work for CT in the Covent Garden boutique and agree with most of this! One thing I would say is blend the colour chameleons with your finger not a brush (as you found out they dry very quickly!) and they work best as a base for more intense shadow to sit on top of (you'll find most of the chameleons are designed to fit with a palette also) or a smokey liner. I also love the blushes although they do all tend to have more of a glow to them so I totally get that's not for everyone. But great reviews and a lovely makeup! Subbed! xx
You put so much effort into this video! Like a crazy amount! It was absolutely gorgeous! I love this idea of reviewing a brand! It's helpful to know what products are worth the money in such large brand. It can be kind of overwhelming and this was VERY HELPFUL!! Thanks Karima xx
Woohoo! So happy you found it helpful! x
LOVE this video, it's so useful! Really appreciate it! I'd love to see more brand reviews like this
A great comprehensive review -- though seeing three hands on screen at once was a bit surprising at first glance!
It was so nice to hear you say the mascara smudged on you (sorry) I felt like I was the one weirdo that mascara didn't work on but ugh such a good look and then smudge city
As someone who has just discovered this line, this was SO helpful! Thank you!!! Not carried in many stores in the U.S. so super helpful to get a visual and comparison! Seriously, thank you so much!
Amazing comprehensive review of the range, Karima! Thank you! Xx
This was fantastic, I have pretty much all of those products and couldn't agree more. Love the editing!!
A lot of my friends hate the light wonder foundation but its one of my fav foundations!! I have "good" skin but it transform it to another level without looking like am wearing anything and it feels like air on my face!
this video was very helpful! thank you karima 😊
by the way, your editing is ah-mazing!!!! I can't get over it
great video! I was waiting for someone to do an in depth review, all the UK bloggers seem to love the entire range
I love how you get right down to it, no extra unnecessary words.
No one does reviews like you do ! Seriously this girls knows what shes doing and pretty good at it 👌👏👏💓💓
